Individual Details
Edward Gold
(Abt 1607 - 16 Feb 1684)
Born about 1607 (aged 28 on 9 April 1635. Pail-maker who came to Plymouth Colony in 1635 on the "Elizabeth." (On 9 April 1635, "Edward Gold," aged 28, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the Elizabeth).
First settled in Hingham MA; moved to Boston by 1657, & back to Hingham by 1663. Died in Hingham MA, 16 February 1684/5.
Married by 1643 Margaret (_____) Bacon, widow of GEORGE BACON . She died at Hingham 6 or 7 February 1682/3.
Inasmuch as JARVIS GOULD and Edward Gould sailed to New England on the same vessel, both settled first at Hingham, and both later resided at Boston, the likely assumption has been made that they were brothers, although no direct evidence of this relationship has been found.
Savage states that this immigrant was "of Hawkhurst, Co. Kent," but the surviving parish register entries for that parish do not contain any entries for this surname in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries. If the suggestion that Edward Gould and Jarvis Gould were brothers is correct, though, they were likely from that neighborhood in Kent, inasmuch as Jarvis Gould was listed as a servant of CLEMENT BATE , who was from Biddenden, Kent.
